FREE LECTURE: UWA Business School - Public Lecture - Debating the free market in an age of insecurity

The UWA Business School, in partnership with The Australian Global Studies Research Centre invites you to attend a debate which will be sure to produce some lively discussion. There are those who would argue that the current global financial crisis and the social destruction which it has produced is yet another confirmation of the deeply flawed nature of the free market model.

The Australian Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, provoked considerable reactions when he criticised the rise of ‘market fundamentalism’ in Australia in the magazine Monthly Review.

Panelists will include Professor Alan Robson, Vice-Chancellor UWA, Professor Tracey Horton, Dean of The Business School, Professor Carmen Lawrence, former Premier of Western Australia and Professorial Fellow of UWA’s Institute of Advanced Studies, and Professor Rob Lambert and Professor Webster, award winning authors of the book Grounding Globalization: Labour in the Age of Insecurity.
